Kasai let out a cat-call whistle when Avani came into the living room and raised her eyebrows. "Or else? She might try to steal you from me if there isn't an 'or else.'" She laughed but then grabbed her things and exited the apartment with Avani. Kasai couldn't help but poke fun at Avani's sense of direction as they took the scenic route to their destination. 

They got there though, and safely at that. Kasai followed the eager earthbender into the restaurant and took her seat next to her. Glancing around, she shrugged at the question. "Guess not. We're a little early though." Another smile crept across her face as Avani ordered nearly the entire menu, but she held back the laugh threatening to escape. Shaking her head, she looked at the waiter. "I'll just have a coffee, please."

Checking the watch on her wrist, she looked around the small cafe again and knotted her brow. No one here looked like a reporter. Then again, maybe that was the point. Or maybe they got stood up just like all of the other news affiliates had done to her. She began bouncing her foot under the table nervously. The coffee wasn't going to help that. Oh well. She thanked the waiter and took a swig of the steaming liquid after adding two sugars to it. 

"Alright, they should've been here by now. Let's eat and then-" Her speech was stopped when a figure moved to their table and took a seat across from them. A woman who couldn't be too much older than twenty looked up from under the hat atop her head and smirked. 

"Leaving so soon, Sergeant?" The woman said before retrieving a notepad and pen from the bag she carried over with her. Kasai narrowed her eyes at the young woman, but sat back in her chair. How did the reporter already know her rank? Well, at least she proved her resourcefulness already. "I'm Naomi." She extended her hand across the table, "Nice to meet you, Kasai." This kid may turn out to be a better detective than Kasai if she keeps it up. Naomi turned to Avani and held her hand out, "And you are?" 

After introductions, the girl clicked her pen and held it to the paper. "So, what can I do for you?" 

Looking at the girl over the brim of her cup, Kasai took another drink. She was skeptical, but she swallowed her doubts. After all, this was the only real shot they'd had so far at getting anyone to listen to them. 

"We've seen some shit. And we think people need to know about it. Apparently, though, our story is not in the 'best interest' of the mayor or his payoffs." 

Naomi moved the pen across the paper, but Kasai couldn't see what she was writing. She didn't even have any information yet, what was so important already? 

"So what you're saying is you want me to write a story and put it out for the entire city to see that they mayor isn't the great guy he's cracked up to be?" Well, there she goes knowing things before she even gets told them again. Still, Kasai nodded. Naomi tapped the pen on the notepad. "Well, what are you waiting for? Lay it on me."
